I still don't know what they are for, why we are having them, where voting was taking place, who was running, what they stood for or what will happen now that someone has been shoehorned in.

Predictably enough the Govt says the low turnout is because it's November and it doesn't matter!

Next time they put the election with another one - general election for example - so hiding the fact that almost no one was interested enough to go out and vote.

Perhaps they should have asked whether we actually wanted to do this and come up with some convincing reason why it represents a step forward.

Let's see what the actually do and hope there are not too many scandals

The information provided regarding each of the candidates was massively insufficient. There has been no information regarding exactly what their job roles involve or exactly what powers they have. More importantly police forces are being reduced due to costs which are reducing the number of boots on the ground. Surely these new job roles are simply creating another management tier along with the expense when the resources which need manageing are being reduced!

Electoral Commission should give this a good probing. Mr Cameron has said the commissioners WILL have a mandate.
How the hell does he know that. What if hardly anyone at all voted and the elected commissioner only has 2% of the population voting for them?
How can that possibly be considered a mandate?
Call me Dave Cameron is in a glass house really when talking about a mandate.
